The concert and Christmas tree at the
Christian church last evening was grand
success, and speaks well for Sand Hill.
The readings and recitations were appropriate
and well rendered and the house was filed
with attentive listeners. Two large trees
were loaded with presents of every descript-
ion, ranging in value from 5 cents to 500.
One pleasant feature of the entertainment
was that every child was remembered with
a present When apparently all was about
to conclude, Edgar Corson, in behalf of the
doners, presented Rev. Mr.. Maben with
very fine overcoat We congratulate the
people of Sand Hill in their successful work
at the Christian church.
Quite large audience witnessed the pre-
sentation of Lady Audley's Secret last even
ing, and all appeared to go away much
pleased with the performance. The Curtis
Wilcox Company seems to be composed of
people that know their business and all, last
evening, played their respective parts ez-
cellently. 1t is needless to say however
that Miss Camille Townsend is the star of
the company, and moreover, an actress of
ability.
The scions of the minstrel stage present no
list of Dames more prominent than those Civ

either of these without regard to the
wishes OF the people. No government could
achieve anything by policy based on
emigration, for successful emigration de-
pended largely on the condition OF the
